1. thanks for the links

[Mr.Turnip]

2. Polls have been closed for a bit now and still not a single result.

are they waiting for the 9 PM polls to close too?

[Tx4obama]

3. First trickle of Michigan votes coming in on the front page of CNN and on TPM too

http://www.cnn.com/

and the TPM link in the OP now has some result now too.

[sufrommich]

5. I think they are, although I don't remember

Michigan results ever waiting for the 4 counties in western UP to give results, anybody else remember waiting until 9:00 pm here?

4. As Arizona was practically uncontested, I am just watching MI, at NYT:

http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/primaries/states/michigan

Link you provided are good, but it's always worth having more. Sometimes sites freeze up or get overloaded.

[Tx4obama]

6. Thanks for posting the link, I've added it to the OP :) n/t

[morningfog]

8. Santorum only up by .4 points, although very early. It could be a long night.

[joshcryer]

9. Dang he was up 2 points just a moment ago but now he's up only .8.

Dangit.

[joshcryer]

7. Google has Frothy ahead at the moment (Michigan):

10. Looks like CNN is updating faster than anyone else is so far

http://www.cnn.com/election/2012/primaries/state/mi

[joshcryer]

13. Thank you! I was going to actually ask you that.

Which one was updating the most.

[rufus dog]

11. thanks Tex N/T

[joshcryer]

12. 9.4% reporting, Santorum 40.2%, Romney 39.2%

[DCBob]

14. looks like Santorum is going to win this...

but by a very narrow margin. It might be narrow enough to salvage the Mittens. His campaign and supporters will say Dem voters stole the election. Not sure that will work but it might.

[joshcryer]

15. That never works, the cross over voting complaint has never really held traction, imo.

[DCBob]

21. Yeah, but the GOPer establishment will be desperate to find something to cling to.

I really dont think they want to dump Romney unless they think they absolutely have to. At least the crossover thing gives them something.

[joshcryer]

23. Yeah, even if Romney doesn't pull ahead (5% or more) they'll probably use that argument.

[DCBob]

16. maybe not..

Mittens just tied it. 40-40

[joshcryer]

18. Jinx.

[DCBob]

22. yeah, no shit. as soon as I posted that Romney turned it.

weird.

[joshcryer]

17. Romney just closed the one point gap with 16% reporting. 40%/40%

[joshcryer]

19. Romney is up 41% to 39% now.

Romney will win this one.

[DCBob]

24. those early numbers must have skewed towards Santorum

also the early vote factor may have been bigger than many thought.

[joshcryer]

26. Rural areas tend to report first so that is an explaination.

I think Romney will just pull this one out, maybe 2-3% at most, but he's OK.

[rufus dog]

20. Anyone know the story of how Michigan Counties were created?

Just a bunch of squares for the most part.

[joshcryer]

25. 24% reporting, Romney 41%, Santorum 38%

[joshcryer]

27. Hmm, hey, it's going to be interesting, about 20 rural counties haven't started reporting!

OMG I'm looking at this map and it's crazy! Wow. Watch carefully because things are going to get interesting!

[rufus dog]

28. nice pick up

just checked the maps and you nailed it, area around Grand Rapids is solid Santorum with Counties needing to report. What goes on in the upper Eastern part of the state?

[joshcryer]

30. OK, I did the math, Romney leads by about 10k votes, Santorum will only gain about 8k. Darn.

It's going to be a lot closer than people think but Romney will still win.

Note: I'm just assuming for sake of argument that rural areas are going to trend toward Santorum. For my math I assume about 400 votes more per county, using Delta County as a metric (he won that county 43/32).

[Tx4obama]

31. He's been holding that 10k lead for quite a while now, was hoping it would shrink :( n/t

[Mr.Turnip]

29. Damn you Newt Gingrich!

[Mr.Turnip]

32. Count your votes faster Grand Rapids!

Santos performance there pretty much determines if he still has shot or not.

[Tx4obama]

33. On MSNBC

Maddow was just now going to a commercial break and the microphones picked up Chris Matthews quietly saying in the background "I think it's close"

I hope so

p.s. I have only the audio on so I'm not sure if he was on camera or not.

[Mr.Turnip]

34. Santo has started slowly clawing back.

Will it keep going?

Who Knows!

[Tx4obama]

36. "Only The Shadow Knows ... " :) n/t

[rufus dog]

35. The "UP" likes them some Santorum

Dontcha know!

[Tx4obama]

37. Also in Michigan ...

Daily Kos Elections ‏ @DKElections

[joshcryer]

39. Damn.

[2ndAmForComputers]

41. Not the best surname for a candidate for elected office, is it?

[Mr.Turnip]

38. Hillsdale- 18,000 for "other" HUH?

[Tx4obama]

40. Chuck Todd on MSNBC just said ...

that in a couple counties the votes are mainly absentee and not the votes from today
so there is still A LOT of votes still not in/counted.

[Mr.Turnip]

42. and Chuck is getting this info WHERE?

[Tx4obama]

43. I don't know, he mentioned that when explaining 'why' they are saying it is still too close 2 call

and he said that in one place that there were around 80,000 votes still not added to the totals.

[Tx4obama]

44. Oh good lord. Santorum stole President Obama's "I luv ya back" line. GRRRRR!! n/t

[Tx4obama]

45. MSNBC: Mitt Romney projected winner in Michigan.

They just showed the check mark on the TV box screen.

[Mr.Turnip]

46. Hillsdale results just got wiped.

[Mr.Turnip]

47. I do still expect the margin to narrow a bit.
